A knife a water bottle and a flint.....?

[Wabajack]

Wabajack,

Stainless canteens are not standard issue anymore. There is a company that makes them to original spec but they are commanding some serious loot. I picked this one up at a gun show back in October. I got another from my friend Marty Simon. You can still find them. The two I have are from '44 and from '45. Over 60 years old but in fine working condition!

BTW, check E-bay too.

Damn...

I'll have to keep my eyes open then.

1) Small axe (something like the GB SFA)
--I could do just about everything I would with a knife, but it would take much less energy when building a nice sturdy shelter. As much as I'd like a knife, if I had to only have one, and "thrive", especially in Washington state, I think the axe would be much more usefull.

2) Metal Pot
-- Collecting water
-- Cooking
-- Making water safe to drink. If out for a month I'm more likely to set up base, and stay put, so I wouldn't need the ability to carry the water around, so in this case I think the pot would be more usefull than the canteen. Unless I could have a canteen and a metal cup.

3) Altoids tin PSK
-- Since it's allowed, I'll take it, since it will not only have a firesteel, but also, a striker, multiple types of tinder, some bandaids, motrin, wire for snaring, some fishing line, and a couple of hooks.

x2!

An Altoid tin PSK can hold quite a few useful items, including razer blades/small blades. You nailed my exact list.
